The use of surgical safety checklists has been shown to reduce perioperative adverse events, but existing lists are varied and non-specific for spinal deformity surgery. Thus, the purpose of this study was to develop a comprehensive surgical checklist for complex spinal corrective surgery.<\/jats:p>\n          <\/jats:sec>\n          <jats:sec>\n            <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n            <jats:p>An electronic survey consisting of 187 surgical checklist items that had been developed and used by a group of SRS members over a 5-year period was distributed to the Scoliosis Research Society Safety and Value Committee membership. The survey sections included: (1) pre-operative area, (2) initial operating room visit, (3) before turning, (4) positioning, (5) prepare and drape, (6) pre-incision timeout, (7) intraoperative, (8) finishing implant placement and confirming imaging, (9) final rods and locking, (10) prior to closure, (11) closure, (12) turn to supine, and (13) checkout\/debriefing. Respondents graded each item on a five-point Likert scale based on their perceived importance and feasibility for inclusion in the checklist. Features graded as \u201cmoderately important\u201d or \u201cvery important\u201d to include by at least 70% of respondents were considered to meet the cutoff for inclusion-based standard Delphi practices. Study data were collated using REDCap.<\/jats:p>\n          <\/jats:sec>\n          <jats:sec>\n            <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n            <jats:p>A total of 25 surgeons completed the survey in its entirety. The overall checklist \u201cpackage\u201d was shortened to 9 individual checklist modules, with 2 to 16 items per checklist. In terms of individual checklist items, 40% of items (74 of 187) met the cutoff for inclusion; 17 of these items were graded as \u201cvery important,\u201d which included verifying the presence of implantable devices, reviewing the surgical plan and positioning with the surgical staff, securing the endotracheal tube, bite block confirmation, prone and lateral positioning, neuromonitoring baseline readings, double-checking that the implant screw caps were locked prior to closure, and confirming that the patient was moving bilateral lower extremities before leaving the operating room when possible.<\/jats:p>\n          <\/jats:sec>\n          <jats:sec>\n            <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n            <jats:p>This study has led to the development of a specific spinal deformity surgical checklist of 74 (many specific to spine surgery) items that were considered important for inclusion; 17 were considered \u201cvery important\u201d.<\/jats:p>\n          <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1007\/s43390-024-00973-1","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,10,23]],"date-time":"2024-10-23T11:03:44Z","timestamp":1729681424000},"page":"327-338","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1007\/springer_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":2,"title":["Development of the scoliosis research society spinal deformity surgery safety checklist"],"prefix":"10.1007","volume":"13","author":[{"given":"Rafael","family":"De la Garza Ramos","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Justin K.","family":"Scheer","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Nabil","family":"Matmati","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-6602-7172","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Lloyd A.","family":"Hey","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Douglas C.","family":"Burton","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Marinus","family":"de Kleuver","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Christopher P.","family":"Ames","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Vijay","family":"Yanamadala","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"297","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2024,10,23]]},"reference":[{"key":"973_CR1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"1","DOI":"10.1016\/j.wneu.2021.12.017","volume":"159","author":"Y Jia","year":"2022","unstructured":"Jia Y, Peng Z, Qin Y, Wang G (2022) Surgical versus nonsurgical treatment for adult spinal deformity: a systematic review and meta-analysis.
